              Hepworth is a researcher and organiser whose work focuses
              on race, citizenship and migration. Her book, At the Edges
              of Citizenship, argues that citizenship is not just a
              collection of rights that can be either possessed or
              endowed; it is continually and contingently reconstituted
              through struggles between &quot;insiders&quot; and &quot;outsiders&quot;.</span></span></div>
